Well done on all counts!

(hope you'll still have time to visit the Geneva Motor Show...)

pnegyesi · February 07, 2010, 02:40:14 PM

Thanks to everyone.

No, if I will not be forced to go, then I will skip Geneva this year - just like I skipped it last year.

Nice work Pal. Shocked to hear that you won't be going to Geneva; it won't be the same without you!

So, now that we know this is the Menix 2, do we know what car it was based on?

pnegyesi · February 08, 2010, 11:21:32 PM

Thanks again

It was based on a NSU Prinz 4, 1962.

Well, we'll see about the show - this year I'd rather be at Goodwood than Geneva

The Menix 1 is definetely based on a NSU Prinz, but I'm not sure about the Menix 2.

Any side pics? Or any other pics at all of the Menix 2?

Unfortunately not! I've search almost everywhere, asked other luminaries from German forums, but got nothing.
I've found that particular pic on a German forum. The author of that thread posts scanned snippets from old German car mags.

I even tried to get in contact with Beat Menzi. There's someone with the same name (similar adress) on Facebook, but he refused to reply...Mabye he wasn't related to the builder..

There is a website where Beat Menzi-Maurer offers his Menix 1 for sale. There you can find his adress. Just google "Menix Beat Menzi": first hit.

Thanks, but that's online for at least 4-5 years

Menix 2 under construction:

Allemano · March 04, 2017, 12:33:11 PM

Finally another pic!

It's not a beautiful car from this view either..

Wendax · March 04, 2017, 12:45:58 PM

I forgot to add that Menix 2 was based on an Alfa Romeo Alfasud.

A three-quarter edge view of the completed car:

Not too bad for a self made car.

Happy new year everyone!

ImpishGrin · January 07, 2022, 06:26:39 AM

That's great, thank you Wendax!

I love it about AP that fifteen years will pass and then suddenly a new photo appears of something very obscure and never before seen in full.
